For some reason, around his demanding Dancing With the Stars schedule and performing in Vegas five nights a week, Donny Osmond has been making short funny videos, apparently. Here, he appears with Frank Conniff, (Mystery Science Theater) who has dubiously re-branded himself as a celebrity hairstylist. Questions arise regarding his...

In his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas refuted Professor Anita Hill's sexual harassment testimony against him with these famous words:

"This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the...

In bold tweets and correspondence, Rep. Kevin Murphy (R, TX-8th) has made his displeasure known that Washington D.C. did not offer extra metro rail service for Glenn Beck's Tea Party on 9/12, even though he just voted against emergency funding for the D.C. Metro. This letter, obtained "creatively,"...

Citing a university he could not remember, Glenn Beck claimed that over a million supporters turned out at his 9/12 D.C. march, despite every other official source and news outlet estimation of roughly 60,000. Here is some official-looking accreditation that shows that Glenn Beck's figures are more official.

As I joked this morning on Twitter about Glenn Beck's 9-12 DC March, I got this tweet:

@diggrbiii @johnennis That's right. With every comment you expose your bitterness and desperation. I'm giving you advice. Keep quiet today. #tcot

Seeking to quell the furor over Wednesday night's heckling in a joint session of Congress and return focus on his health bill, President Obama offered a willingness to reconcile with Rep. Joe Wilson in a familiar setting: a beer summit.

Obama suggested he might offer Joe Wilson a tall, cool...

After heckling the President during a joint session of Congress, Rep. Joe Wilson (S.C.) offers a conciliatory tone, perpetuates an untruth, then asks for money. This closed-captioning service is provided to maintain public decency in media.

It's kind of like the organ grinder and the monkey. The guy with the music box gets the monkey to dance and act out for the people. And when huge corporations, media interests, and high-priced consultants unleash desperate distortions on public policy, they get a robust jig and a squeal...

When I moved to L.A. at the turn of the century, I noticed something about this 'industry town' almost immediately. All outdoor advertising -- billboards, bus ads, bus shelters, bus benches, building wraps -- is entirely for entertainment marketing campaigns for TV and movies (save the occasional realtor headshot). You...

Disgraced former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay announced today that not only will he impress Americans across the political spectrum with the wiggle of his hips on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, he has already begun maneuvers off the dance floor that will ensure his eventual win.

While some may make light of the Birthers' quest to disprove President Obama's citizenship, a thorough investigation looking for things I wanted to hear produced this compelling piece of evidence. The official embossed seal proves that this paper has been embossed with a seal that is official. This has all...

In the ensuing viral wave from Dave Carroll's YouTube video "United Breaks Guitars," and its impressive impact on United Airlines, the full meme experience is not complete without yet another re-edit of Hitler losing it from the movie Downfall.

I am sorry to hear that GLAAD has condemned Sacha Baron Cohen's alter-ego Bruno as a setback for the depiction of homosexuals in popular culture. I do wish to be respectful of others' feelings on this complicated issue and acknowledge my own place as a hetero sympathizer and...

President Obama took questions from reporters today in response to unfolding allegations that the season premiere of HBO's Entourage was lackluster.

"Across our country, Americans are wrestling with the housing crisis," the President explained to a visibly rankled Dana Milbank of the Washington Post. "And as we can all see,...

Observing the debate over health care reform repeatedly surge to the front lines of attention and discourse tells me that perhaps its time has finally come.

Like a patient fighting for life, the popular outcry for a single payer (government sponsored) health care option demands our attention despite celebrity deaths,...

This past weekend I participated in the Instant Films Festival, now in its seventh year. My film, "Porno Music," was written, cast, shot, edited, and scored in less than 48 hours. All of the films were of high caliber, and defy expectation for a weekend project.
